Fox & Friends also covered but aired a different angle:
MSNBC’s Morning Joe appeared to also have the same video feed as Fox News:
The Daily Mail reported Abe was shot in the back in the city of Nara in south-central Honshu. The 67-year-old collapsed and was rushed to a hospital and a man was reportedly arrested. Abe appeared to have been shot twice and showed no signs of life, Japanese news outlet NHK reported.
Police have arrested 41-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami, who has so far been charged with attempted murder, according to NBC News.
